"It is rare to find a work that portrays words and images as intensely as this special collaboration between mother and daughter..."- Gilber Claes, Fine Art Photographer, and crew member of 1X.com Professional Curating and Exclusive Art Gallery.

Every person longs for a meaningful life that has value. We shape this in our own way by attuning ourselves to the value of the things that surround us, and discovering what is essential to our being and what is not. Through the fusion of photography and philosophical poetry, mother Greetje and daughter Angela show us how we can do that.

Angela’s poems are the stuff life is made of, put under a microscope. She makes the ordinary magical. She makes you look at life sideways, upside down, inside out – dissects it cleanly with words sharp as any scalpel, makes you take a close, hard look at things you take for granted. She possesses the art of being able to condense a complicated thing into a luminous image that’s as profound as it is simple, using the simplest of words.

Greetje is a passionate art photographer with a unique and recognizable style. Her work embodies the “visual art of minimalism", in particular, "Suprematism", an art movement based on lines, shapes and surfaces... She detaches the geometric shapes from their environment and makes them approachable. This is abstract art where the emphasis is mainly on the artistic feeling and not so much on the visual perception of the forms themselves. She regularly alternates abstract subjects with atmospheric images of nature and intriguing photos where people are central - all this with a meticulous eye for the aesthetic experience or the clarity of the photo. Her works are gems of sophisticated beauty and emotional purity that will touch many art lovers…
